Awww how cute that all the hexed dogz get along I'm enjoying seeing Piano participate in WinOly! That snowman almost looks like it has spider eyes >.>

Yeah, I was really pleasantly surprised with that group! I love when the make friends instead of...whatever the cats were doing!
And I wondered if anyone would notice the spider face lol! I wanted to use carrots for the pedipalps, buut I ended up having to improvise. Oh well!

Bows!
I know the challenge said to dress your pet... but I always think it's funny to let them dress themselves and see what they come up with, so that's what I did!
Head bows, tail bows, bow collars...they're all laid out! With today's model being Marielle!
She picked out her first item quickly, before circling the room several times, pondering her next selection, and settling for a black beck bow.
...and then promptly taking a nap as soon . Fashion must be exhausting work.
I used her naptime to cleanup bows from the categories she'd already put on, to make things easier. Then it was back to work!
To say the least, she ended up with quite the getup! How did you even get two bows on your neck....?
I gotta say, though, I'm proud of her! 2/5 bows are green. She knows a thing or two about team spirit!
Sledding!
Also, here's Pinion on a sled <3

Frisbee!
I decided fairly early on I wanted to spotlight each team member at least once in a challenge. So when I got to this one, I checked who hadn't gotten a chance to shine just yet among the dogs, because as much as I love the cats, I dooon't see them becoming Frisbee superstars.
So who did that leave? Well, there's Pope Julius!
...except he's a trotter, so acrobatics aren't really his strong suit.
The only other option is...
Blueberry, who doesn't seem happy about it! Hopes and dreams rest on his shoulders; Can he catch a Frisbee?
...Well, not only can he do it, he's a natural!
Even if he did get a bit "No Take, Only Throw" about it...
I practiced with him a bit more to make sure he had the catching bit down, then set a timer. I threw the Frisbee once more, and hit start!
He chased it back and forth during those two minutes, and when the timer ran out, he'd finished with 5 catches! Not too shabby! Maybe he's even got a show career ahead of him!

Meeting a Host!
Admittedly, this challenge was met with a hitch right off the bat - I had somehow messed up my clothes folder in a way that now, whenever the hosts tried to show up, the game crashed. Buck was kind enough to give me copies of some of the clothes I needed, but before then, I had to use another work around instead!
Blululemon got to take a field trip to Petz 5, where the hosts actually work for me! Though she uh, had to leave her texture at home.
She doesn't seem too worried about it, though, and spends some time stargazing while we wait for one of the hosts to show. It was honestly really peaceful watching her watch the stars - sometimes I forgot how pretty the snow scene is!
Mitzy showed up after a little while, and they promptly set the play-tussling!
Though... I wouldn't exactly say they were friendly? I mean, they didn't dislike each other per se. No hissing, no glaring, no hate orbs. They were just...exceedingly neutral toward each other. Pretty much just mosied about the screen doing their own things, occasionally doing a little play wrestle but mostly ignoring each other. I did still get some pretty fun pics out of it, though!
Mitzy hardcore judging Blulu's despair, here. Followed by mutual judging when Blulu got on the sled:
My personal favorite by far is when they somehow decided that WinOly needs a new sport: Synchronized... Carrot Carrying?
After this, I tried to get Bear to show up so Blulu could meet him too, but alas, to no avail. He showed up once, promptly re-exited the area, and refused to grace me with his presence again. Guess he's too good for the rest of us, smh.
Cozy Pictures by the Fire!
At least in my game, winter is winding down. The trees and decor are getting put away, but neither is the Family Room yet decorated for spring, so the end result is somewhat plain and barren. Ashie and Jem don't care, however, taking full advantage of the pillows in front of the fireplace for a good nap! Especially important for Jem, since she's expecting! Not sure I agree with her and Runaway Mystery that the middle of the Olympics is a good time to have a kid, but hey, who am I to judge?
Posing!
Cheese trotted out a pose pretty readily!

Favorite Toy!
Now Pope Julius actually gets a chance to shine! When I laid out a selection for toys for him, my rule is that it has to actually be a toy. As in, their primary purpose in-game is to be played with, not displayed. So as cute as the foods and little trees and other decor are, they didn't fit the criteria. This is what I ended up laying out for him from the Winter toy closet!
He seemed pretty happy about it, tbh!
Lots of curious sniffing...
Oh? Do we like the boomerang??
Nope, playing fetch now.
I went in rounds, removing toys he ignored bit by bit until I'd gotten it down to a final few.
After much more pondering, I think we have a winner!
He went back to the yarn ball a lot, no matter how many toys there were to choose from. I don't know for sure if its his favorite, but I'm pretty sure he picked it up more than any of the other toys he played with during that time, so that's the answer I'm going with. yay!
Thank You Card!
Sent! Not sure if I'm supposed to post an image of it here too?
A Brief Essay!
This event was so much fun! All the tasks felt like just the right degree of time commitment, and I loved getting to know all the petz on my team! I definitely want to participate in future Olympic events after this, and look forward to see what's similar or different about them when they roll around! After the hecticness that the holidays can sometimes be...it was super nice to just chill out with my petz doing little activities together, and watching the friendly jabs between the teams! For the final time this event... Go Evergreen! (And Frost... you're okay too I guess )
